Back of Beyond Locomotive



I was sorting out my boxes of terrain for the Fistful of Lead game tomorrow, including my repainted toy Wild West train and railroad tracks, when I found this plastic toy locomotive that I'd completely forgotten about. It was shoved in a box on top of the other stuff, so no wonder I couldn't remember where it was.

I'm pretty sure I found it at a charity shop and, as it was the same basic model as my existing train, I picked it up for a couple of quid. It's more of a European style locomotive, however, so I will dismantle and rebuild it for my Back of Beyond games, using it with the tender that I have already painted.

It needs some minor surgery and sanding down, then I can add some extra details before giving it a quick painting and weathering to match my rolling stock. I'm now on the lookout for some more of the plastic carriages that come with these models, so that I can make up a longer train with some purpose made wagons for the Back of Beyond
